I only look at Arch if I need to build a new package or if I get a
problem. Most of what I have looked at is in AUR (user-supported)
and I don't recall ever noticing tests being run. But I guess that
comes down to whoever contributes the particular package.

Thanks for the link.
They appear to be updating config.guess and config.sub in various
directories and then apparently running ./configure to create
config.toml.
Maybe I should look at, and for,
0001-Ignore-stack-probes-tests-on-powerpc-s390x-too.patch
... found the build at
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rust/tree/master
Nope, it only adds those arches to what is ignored, doesn't get
applied on x86.
Last time I looked (some months ago), they were not running the
tests.
Theyi now have only two failures
test [run-make] run-make/atomic-lock-free ... FAILED
test [run-make] run-make/sysroot-crates-are-unstable ... FAILED
but they appear to be building for all arches and of course they
have gdb installed.
I'll end this reply by quoting from their specfile:
%description
Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents
segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.
